My mother and I never thought the indestructible Amelia Dreskell, my youthful partner in crime, could cover her head with medical wigs. Her extravagant hair was synonymous with impeccable style. But surprise surprise. Our favorite gal continues to be celebrated because of her attitude. Not many in town even care that she lives confidently wearing lace front wigs. It’s not so unusual.
Back in the day as kids growing up in Arizona, we always swept all the beauty pageants. But in college her alopecia took effect and she went bald. I suggested these lace front wigs. But you know, she just shaved her head. Even on bad days she took the time and showcased her shaved head.
Attending the school’s roller hockey tournament, we taunted the players until her loverboy purposefully hit the little ball (or whichever thing that is) into the bleachers. Quick on her feet, she jumped up for it and her cute little hat flew right off, unveiling her naked head. No big deal, she hurled the thing with a tremendous heave into the goal. Attitude, did I mention she’s got it?
But, who can be invincible at all times? Months later at our semi-monhtly mid-day lemonade chat, where she very sincerely informed me that she prefers to make do with a shorn head as a statement. She could never look at well crafted lace front wigs, though she knew it was a good idea. She then the punk grew embarrassed and demanded that I it was silly. I didn’t know what to say.
I couldn’t drop it. The next morning, I called about going shopping with me for a new lace front wig. After a long deliberation the two of us arrived at an agreement: we were going wig shopping! We have a knack for making online wig shopping fun.
We had a ball wig shopping, floored by the wide selection of hair colors, textures and styles. We didn’t realize that wigs are very appealing for so many women. These wigs for women’s hair loss complimented her natural beauty. Personally, I built an entirely fresh wardrobe to match my wig. Its become an inside joke, if you haven’t heard. Recently she thanked me for giving her back her hair, and explained it encourages a real positive image in her life. It’s touching to witness her reclaim her beauty. I love her so much!
